Duck Sports Authority continues its Spring Camp preparation with a final evaluation and ranking of the 2007 position units. Coming in at #2 in the unit rankings is Offensive Line. Beating out Max Unger for MVP honors is Geoff Schwartz.[details]

2005 (Sophomore): Thrived in his debut as a starter at Houston and proceeded to open nine more games at left guard, seeing action in all 12 contests. Experienced his most extensive action to date by taking 76 snaps at Arizona State and 68 vs. Oklahoma. Part of the quintet in the trenches that all shared the team’s offensive player-of-the-week accolades for their play against the Sun Devils.

2004 (Freshman): Made appearances in seven games, including 42 snaps vs. Idaho and 12 plays in his collegiate debut at Oklahoma. Praised for his efforts against the Sooners, Vandals and Arizona.

2003 (Redshirt): Earned offensive scout team player of the week honors for his preparations prior to the Mississippi State game during his redshirt season.

2002 (Redshirt):HIGH SCHOOL — One of the top-20 ranked offensive linemen on the West Coast (PacWest Football) displayed the qualities that would make him a good fit in the Ducks’ system at offensive guard or center, with solid footwork conducive to his utilization around the perimeter. Emerged as a dominating run blocker and credited with 45 pancake blocks as a prep junior.

OREGON - Hard work finally paid dividends as he has benefitted from an attitude that refuses to back down. An ankle sprain in the spring of 2005 slowed his development but he made the most of an opportunity last fall when a projected starter was lost for the season during pre-season camp. As a result, refused to be dislodged from the starting lineup after the second game of last season. Is the type of player who may not always measure up to others in comparison of talent but always gives everything he has and all he does is help you win. Displays an air of toughness and continued to impress coaches last spring with an instinct of how to attack defenses and control his opponent across the line of scrimmage. Is a solid workhorse who possesses a very good knowledge of the offense. Improved his power clean peak by 22 lbs. during winter testing compared to a year ago and his back squat 15 lbs. (485).
